Another great video, thanks Nick. Information on the gloves. How do you like them?

[@nickstransmissions]

Thanks for the kind words, John! I like those gloves...gives you just enough dexterity while letting you do everything from tearing a transmission down to handling / moving things without tearing your latex gloves....Harbor Freight sells them for $2/pair...They also sell those black latex 9mil thick gloves - they're ok but like to tear between the thumb and index finger, especially in the summer....Hot months I actually wear the 5mil gloves that don't split as much in that area when it's hot.

I believe that the gear set, or rear planet in 6L80/90 is called a Ravigneaux gear set. The 350, 400, 700R4 and all other Hydromatic transmissions, except Powerglide , which also uses the Ravigneaux ,use the Simpson gear set. I went to technical school way back in 1981, so I remember all those terms, the instructor pounded them into your brain

[@nickstransmissions]

Yep, absolutely correct Peter...Ford and ZF took things a step further with the Lepelletier planetary system which connected a Simpson gear set to a Ravigneax gear set but these units keep the Simpson set divorced from the Ravigneaux.

You can use the 6l90 6 pinion planet in the 6l80..🎉😎👊🏻 it replaces the 4 pinion planet in the 6l80...

[@nickstransmissions]

Yep, those are interchangeable..Thanks for watching, Dale!
